This is for the ladies I've met doing FBSM that are leaving. I could not have asked for better experiences. I really enjoyed my time with each of you and wish you the best in all you do!
Some of you I saw many times, and some only once, but either way I hold you all in the best regards because you collectively helped mend a broken soul. I'm sure you did it many times over. THANK YOU!... in the next few days, based on the many ads with farewell messages and comments in reviews about ladies moving, or moving out of the hobby.
It will be interesting to see how providers and hobbyists adapt to these changes. I have noticed, for example, some providers omitting any mention of "massage" from their ads. Yet many ads still mention massage, and I'd be surprised if all of those providers are licensed and meet all of the other new regulations. Perhaps there will be fewer ads on sites like BP, and more UTR behavior. And it will be interesting to see how aggressively LE will move to enforce the new regulations....British gentleman partially answered my question in his subsequent post.
So what is the general gist of what's happening? If the city is clamping down with licensure, one would think the business model would move quietly to the suburbs?
... for answering a question I've had for a few days now, to wit, why would that post down below get over 30 "likes"? Now I know!
And in return for your thoughtful gift of the Bond video, here's one that you may find useful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_pZWdF7ujA
Suburbs are very regulated too in fact, dole out harsher penalties like seizing property and business lock outs if caught operating without any licensure last I've heard.
Not seeing what the point is spreading fear or in making a big deal is,
I mean what most of people are doing is "legal" right? Then why worry about something that isn't a problem and supposedly won't be ? That is being within "legal" boundaries & all...

Most of the providers have quit and the guy that started the expansion of FBSM has moved to another state. Most of the remaining gals can't advertise (blocked by BP for some reason).
Like I said, it was a very cool gig while it lasted. I met a lot of great gals.t of my faves at lake lyndale and have gone and wonder where they went as I would love to be able to see them again. Although a few have stayed in there exact same location to make a lot less money and you may recognize them. I would move and do what some have done to the north loop or wherever.
3 of them, yes. They were not into the FBSM if you ask me. Most guys aren't going to pay $150 for something you can get anywhere for $70
Blocked from BP ? Now that's new ...
As many rip offs as there are posting on there you'd think that'd happen to them rather than the other ladies ? Strange .

I've never heard of something like that and I wonder why BP would do such a thing.
All I can tell you is that suddenly about 6-8 gals could no longer place ads. The one I was talking to said she tried everything, including a new email address she just created. Finally, she purposely misspelled her email using gmail,com instead of gmail.com and it went in.
I saw what she was saying, yet I saw a couple of other posts with ordinary emails... so I was confused. Then in a conversation with someone else I heard that another group of massage gals had been experiencing the same issue. Yesterday I saw that the first gal had successfully posted an ad with yet another new email address. Save it to say the number of ads in body rubs is almost down to nothing compared to 1-2 months ago.Just checked. Honestly, I can't imagine that Backpage (owned by the one and only Rupert Murdoch himself, btw) would voluntarily turn their backs on $$$ like that. Can you imagine how much they rake in every day in body rub ads alone? They'd have to go down Craigslist-style first.

I'm one of those ladies who has had issues posting ads on BP. They rebooted the system a while ago, and bam! Blocked from editing or bumping my ad, despite getting new accounts and emails. I thought I would have to change my name, which would make me really sad. What's up? Take my money
